E-mail from Jim Rutledge

Did you members of the Four Roses Mellow Moments Club recieve the e-mail titled "40 And Counting"?
It spoke about the Rutledge 40th Anniversary Single Barrell from Four Roses and of course the Master Distiller Jim Rutledge.

Dear Jim Rutledge,

I have only been a bourbon fanatic a few years.
But I have to tell you that you are a true craftsman.

Cheers,
Oscar V Hightower
